Despite reading and re-reading the docs, and googling, for the past half-hour, I can't see
how useScope or scopes is useful in the maven ant task unless I use a separate POM file.
If I list all my dependencies directly in my ant build script, there appears to be no way
to reference one dependency set with multiple different scopes. For example, I have:
<artifact:dependencies pathId="runtime.classpath"
filesetId="runtime.fileset"
>
<remoteRepository refid="main.repository"/>
<dependency groupId="com.caucho" artifactId="hessian" version="4.0.7" scope="compile"/>
<dependency groupId="com.google.zxing" artifactId="core" version="2.0" scope="compile"/>
...
<dependency groupId="javax.servlet.jsp" artifactId="jsp-api" version="2.1" scope="provided"/>
<dependency groupId="javax.servlet" artifactId="servlet-api" version="2.5" scope="provided"/>
</artifact:dependencies>
I have a compile target in ant that uses this as the classpath. But I'd like my test target
to also use it as a classpath. The problem is that in the test target, I need some of my "provided"-scope
dependencies to be included, so I want to use it as a useScope="test" set of dependencies.
But because this can only be specified with the dependencies artifact once, there's no way
to use it. That seems to make the feature rather useless.
Am I just completely missing the usage? How can I avoid completely copying the entire dependency
set?
Thanks,
